This is a collection of 15 outfits I created from 100 pairs of vintage Levi’s. I purchased the Levi’s from a thrift store in the summer of 2022 for $1 each and started to embroider on them, then I silk-screened on them. Then I stared at the piles left over for a few months because my hands were too sore to embroider anymore and it hit me. I will take them apart and see how much fabric I can use to make clothing. Everything in the series of photos is handmade by me, I got a friend to give me the thumbs up on the designs after sewing them for the first few months of 2023. I produced the photo shoot to document the clothing, the models are from Key Models and the location is Doris Land a studio I have been renting since January 2022.

I created this line because I love making things, I love drawing, and I love lines what I wanted to do with this was create a line that was full of dimension that was unisex and to show people what is possible with your closet. Clothing has much more life than we give it credit for, often we discard it when it develops the smallest of flaws. If you mend those flaws something much bigger comes to light, and you curate something very personal that then takes on a life of its own.

I will be showing the line in April 2023, and can’t wait to see it come to life on the runway.

The photographs will also be published in Selin Magazine in April of 2023 you can get a copy here.
